Via Provinciale Anacapri is a narrow coastal road on Capri

Via Provinciale Anacapri is a challenging coastal road situated on the island of Capri in the southern part of Italy.

How long is Via Provinciale Anacapri?

This road spans 2.4km (1.49 miles) on the island of Capri, situated in the Bay of Naples. South of the city of Naples and near the Amalfi Peninsula's tip, Capri is part of the Campania region of Italy. The island is home to two towns, and this serpentine road connects the harbor (Marina Grande) to Anacapri, the more elevated of the two towns.

Is Via Provinciale Anacapri challenging?

Absolutely. The road features four sharp hairpin turns, and its sheer narrowness necessitates traffic lights in certain sections, ensuring only one vehicle can pass at a time. While fully paved, it frequently winds along steep cliff edges, with towering cliffs on one side and a vertiginous drop into the Mediterranean sea on the other. Such a journey can be unnerving, so trust in the driver is paramount. However, those who brave this road are rewarded with unparalleled views of Capri's north coast and Marina Grande.
